20 quotes: More Obamacare, less work

Last week, Republicans pounced on the Congressional Budget Office’s finding that the Affordable Care Act will prompt people to work fewer hours, slamming Obamacare for eliminating more than 2 million jobs. In defense, Democrats spun the findings as a “good thing” — arguing that Obamacare liberates millions of Americans from jobs they don’t really want to work. Here are 20 politicians and pundits making their arguments:

“In his State of the Union address, President Obama said Americans are united by ‘the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.’ It’s true that Americans believe that, but I’m not sure President Obama does. His administration celebrated the CBO report, saying, in effect, that it’s a good thing to discourage people from working,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.
